Does not Commute iPad Review
What's more difficult than driving through rush hour traffic? Driving through temporally shifted rush hour traffic before a clock ticks down. That's the basis of Does not Commute, but is it any good? Harry from Pocket Gamer slips on his driving gloves and takes us for a spin. Or 12 spins and a number of crashes.…

Smash Hit Review
If we had to invent a genre label for Smash Hit, we'd have to go with endless-shatterer.

Thus selective and judicious hurling is what is required to successfully navigate fr…

Not only do you have to accurately redirect your water cannon, bu…

Instead of putting out fires you're chasing down thieves on roller-skates and crashing through the countryside and cityscape in an attempt to recover your delicious fruit. Like any great iOS…

Sprinkle: Water splashing fire fighting fun! Review
There have been a few games in the App Store that have had players putting out fires with hoses, but none of them have seemed to pull it off with such finesse as the developers of Sprinkle have. It seems that Earth tourists are constantly crashing into the straw huts on Titan, one of Saturn's moons. Rather than let the inhabitants have their homes destroyed, it's up to you to man the water cannon and put out the fires, wasting as little water as possible. The hose is manned by three c…
